  1. I was advised not to the manifold off, so i put a good additive in the fuel at each fill up now

     

    I did notice that the erg valve was very slightly open even after a clean, is this normal, or do i need to replace it ?

     

    Thanks

  2. After reading a lot of comments in here about the EGR valve, I thought it could be the cause of my lack of power problem and the odd warning light.

     

    Below ar the pictures, now cleaned and what a difference, I also put a new air filter and cleaned the MAF sensor, like it was when I first got the car now

     

    Thanks for all your help

  3. In answer to questions, it only happens when going forward and it only started after the brake service,  I have taken the wheel off again and I noticed that the top pin on the sliding part of the caliper, is a little loose in its sleeve, can I just replace the pin or is it a complete caliper ;(

     

    Thanks for all your help

  4. I have a 2006 IS220D I have recently had all new brakes pads / shoes Including hand brake and discs.

    It is now making a CLONK when I brake, just one CLONK,  O/S Front I think, I took it back and that said there is nothing wrong

    Now it makes a nasty metallic knocking when i drive along and the slightest bump sets it off, if I put my foot on the brake when I drive along it seems to get better.

    I took the wheel off and was surprised that the wheel is the only thing keeping the disc on, I presume this is right.

    The caliper nuts are tight, but a bit of play in the sliding caliper part.

    What can this be, do I need a service kit ?

    Thanks
